I just bought a brand new 2007 mazda 3 sport. The engine light suddenly turned on when i started it midway through the day, and has been on since. What could be causing this? is it safe to drive??

There could be hundreds of reasons that light is on, it is the computers way of alerting you of a problem. It could be something serious or something as simple as leaving the car running while fueling which casuses an evap system fault.
The car is most likely safe to drive, but get to the dealer and have them put the car on a scanner to find out what the fault is. Being a new car, will be covered under warranty hopefully.
Usually if the problem is serious enough to make the car unsafe to drive the check engine light will be flashing rather than on steady. I highly recommend reading the owners manual cover to cover, I promise its kinda boring but you will learn stuff about your new car you didn't know. My $.02 worth.

Gas cap is on crooked. Fix that, and engine light will go off in a few hours.

The best advice would be that you should go back to your Mazda dealership and ask them why this is happening! They should be able to fix it!

It should be ok but it's usually some type of required maintenance that could be critical during the break-in period... Being that it's a brand-new car, the dealer should take care of this for you thou the actual maintenance may cost idk, either way you can call or swing by there and they can either fix it or tell you what it is so maybe you can DIY.

Stop by the dealer and let them look at it. It won't cost you a dime since it's under warranty.
